Mila Kunis Admits to Setting Up Donation to Planned Parenthood Under Pence Name

You’re a Hollywood actress. You’re the kind of enlightened, highly remunerated person who knows just the kind of damage Donald Trump and Mike Pence are doing to America — particularly to those Trump-voting zombies in flyover country who know nothing about politics (but who still need to watch your movies and ensure you stay highly remunerated).

You need to strike a blow at the system. You need to show The Resistance that you get it and the conservatives they’re resisting that it’s time to get with the program. You’ve got to engage in an act of radical symbolism and mischief that nobody of your stature and position (except for everyone else in Hollywood) would consider doing. You know what you have to do.

You have to … make a donation to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence’s name. #TheResistance! Not my president!

This is at least how Mila Kunis deals with Trump being ensconced in the White House and Pence being in residence at the Naval Observatory. In an appearance on TBS’ “Conan” on Thursday, Kunis revealed she’d set up a monthly donation in the vice president’s name to America’s foremost abortion mill, all as a reaction to Pence’s opposition to the organization.

“This is when a lot of hate mail comes my way,” Kunis said as she began the story. “I apologize if I’m offending anybody.”

Don’t worry, Mila; I’m sure those who would end up being most offended are too busy being sucked out of the womb (and possibly having their bodily tissues sold) by the people you’re giving your money to.

“I disagreed with some of the stuff that Pence was doing and was trying to do,” Kunis told the audience.

“And so, as a reminder that there are women in the world that may or may not agree with his platform, I put him on a list of re-occurring donations that are made in his name to Planned Parenthood,” Kunis continued

“So this happens every month?” a laughing O’Brien asked.

“Every month, to his office, he gets a little letter that says ‘an anonymous donation has been made in your name,'” Kunis responded. “I don’t look at it as a prank. I look at it just as, I strongly disagree (with him), and this is my little way of showing it.”

Vive la résistance!

Kunis’ wholly ineffectual act of defiance is nothing novel from the Hollywood left. Quixotic, ill-conceived “protests” against ills — real and perceived — date all the way back to the New Hollywood era, where Marlon Brando decided he would send a Native American activist in his stead to decline his 1973 Best Actor Oscar for “The Godfather” on the grounds of, um, oppression and stuff.

This Hollywood activism against anything and anyone GOP continued during the Reagan administration (“WORST PRESIDENT EVER!”), Bushes pére et fils (ZOMG WORST PRESIDENT EVER GO DIXIE CHICKS) and now President Trump (#WORSTPRESIDENTEVER).

So in the Trump era we have Madonna threatening to blow up the White House, Ashley Judd delivering an anti-Trump speech so profoundly incoherent it made “Finnegans Wake” read like a Dick-and-Jane book, and now Mila Kunis engaging in a minor-league, politically charged version of ordering 20 pizzas to the house of the unpopular kid in high school.

But then, why should we be surprised? This is a generation that believes pink crocheted hats and hashtags will solve everything and magically, Trump will be impeached and Hillary will become president.

We salute you, Mila Kunis.

Your donation “prank” to a sick organization may amount to little more than self-solace and a fun little anecdote for late-night talk shows. However, few acts of arrant worthlessness have managed to so effortlessly capture the zeitgeist of an American left that can’t seem to express their anger at the decision of the American electorate in ways other than hashtivism, street violence or meaningless gestures.
